The Rev. Edward Everett Hale in "Lend a Hand": "Sensible people who wish to know, who wish to form good sound opinions, and especially those who wish to take their honest part in the great duties of the hour, will read the book, will study it, and will find nothing else better worth reading and study."
"Admirable, exactly the sort of book needed.... Enlightened and persuasive discussion of the negro problem in its present phases and aspects. Not a dry history. Human, dramatic, interesting, absorbing, there is philosophy of national and political life back of it—a philosophy which not only furnished interpretation of past events, but offers guidance for the future.... Impartial and informing.... There is much that tempts quotation.... Mr. Merriam has given us an excellent, high-minded, illuminating book on the problem of the American negro."—Chicago Record-Herald.
"A deeply interesting story.... An exceedingly readable volume, especially valuable in its analyses of conditions, causes, situations and results; and against his main conclusions no sane person can contend."—Boston Transcript.
